The space race cost hundreds of billions in today's dollars, and AI could do a lot more for/to humanity than put a flag on the moon. And I'm guessing Uncle Sam

The space race cost hundreds of billions in today's dollars, and AI could do a lot more for/to humanity than put a flag on the moon.
And I'm guessing Uncle Sam will want control of these AI companies anyway if AI starts looking even a little powerful/threatening.

The goal of the space race was never to make money, and it was funded by the taxpayers, not VCs expecting a return on their investment.
- edzitron 2y agoThe space race was also not something with a financial outcome at the end as its main goal. I doubt that Uncle Sam cares that much about controlling OpenAI.
